Solar Cohort 2026
March 1 - April 30, 2026
Our flagship climate adaptation and renewable energy programme for youth ages 18-35. Learn systems thinking, renewable energy, regenerative building, and community leadership through expert sessions and practical labs.
The Solar Cohort combines expert lectures, hands-on workshops, and community-based projects to transform how participants think about energy systems, buildings, and climate solutions.
Designed for youth ages 18-35, the programme links policy, technical literacy, and local action through practical learning.
Solar is practical and symbolic: clean, decentralised energy that supports justice, resilience, and collective progress.
